@SteveMoForce @tomjtobin @SalesforceAdmns I don’t have a DF ticket, and the mothership no longer pays me, but my WTF question would be “why is the REST API disabled in trials.”

@tomjtobin @SalesforceAdmns Or maybe @tammforce

Hey .@SalesforceAdmns I have an Idea... Dreamforce Session Pitch: "Why???" ideas.salesforce.com/s/idea/a0B8W00…

After 18 years at Salesforce, I’m moving on today. Not sure where I’m going just yet, but I will miss the people, the coffee, and the view from the Tower. You can find me @steventamm or @tamm@fosstodon.org.

@tammforce Far to assume @tamm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">fosstodon.org/@tamm is the real you?

This account will be ending at twitter at the end of the month. Find me on mastodon after that, or wherever people end up for this kind of thing.

You either die a startup or live long enough to have /v2/ in your APIs

@Vocab_King There’s a bunch of apex recipes and workarounds online. ideas.salesforce.com/s/idea/a0B8W00… developer.salesforce.com/forums/?id=906…

@tammforce What’s the use case though?

For #SFDC formula users with multi select picklists: PICKLISTCOUNT() returns the number of selected items in an MSP field. It’s available now (Summer ‘22). It isn’t in the help docs or release notes yet, but feel free to tell your friends.

@dhoechst @sfdc_nerd Stamping non-deterministic values improves performance. Formula fields are calculated every time, so reports and filters are faster if you can store it in each row.

Why is this not bigger news?!? Tripled!!! And more functions coming!!

@scottlee Agreed. Complex formulas in general are slow and expensive. Compile size isn’t a great proxy for complexity, but it’s usually close.

@jodiem FORMAT of currency and numbers in email templates is on the roadmap. We’ll show some of it at TDX. github.com/salesforce/for…

SFDC Note: the maximum size of compiled formulas in salesforce tripled to 15K in this past release. The documentation is out of date. Also, the next release will have a dozen or so more formula functions.

@jlange118 help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?… 5,000 is now 15,000

@tammforce Help me a bit more? So one custom formula is still limited to 4k. But all custom formulas on the obj can now go up to 15k?

@jlange118 Custom Formula source text has the same limit (4K). The compiled size limit expanded to 15K for all custom formula fields

@tammforce Is this just for devs? Or does this increase the size of formulas allowed in custom fields on objects too?

@McGuireTO Signs point to no. @ca_peterson might know how to get the limits doc updated. The underlying change to the library is here: github.com/salesforce/for…

@tammforce Is the formula size change documented anywhere? I'd like to pass this on to someone
